CVE-2026-45766

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Suricata prior to versions 7.0.16 and 8.0.5, certain NFS parser state structures were insufficiently bounded. Crafted NFS traffic may cause Suricata to consume excessive memory, potentially resulting in denial of service.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could trigger memory exhaustion and cause Suricata to stop functioning, disrupting network security monitoring and intrusion detection.

Recommendation

Update Suricata to version 7.0.16 or 8.0.5. If updating is not possible, disable NFS application-layer parsing when it is not needed.
